Dynamic tests carried out in an accredited crash test laboratory, using the same impact test acceptance criteria as the one used for road safety barriers in the standards EN 1317-2 (Road restraint systems – Performance classes, impact test acceptance criteria and test methods for safety barriers) and  TS 1317-8 (Road restraint systems - Motorcycle road restraint systems).

+ Crash tests of a passenger car (1,500 kg) at 100Km/h and impact angle 0º and 6º. In all the tests, the CROSSAFE system meant the best values: Severity index 'A'.

+ Crash tests of a motorcyclist at 60Km/h at several trajectories and position angles. In all tests, the CROSSAFE system meant the best values: Safety level 'I'.

+ Dynamic test carried out in an accredited crash test laboratory, using the same impact test criteria defined in the standard MASH (Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware): pick up of 2,270 kg and impact speed 100 km/h.

Crossafe, due to its mechanical characteristics and layout of the longitudinal elements, is able to redirect the vehicle, avoiding the impact against the culvert end and achieving that the exit trajectory gets parallel to the own roadside with the aim of reducing the possibility of impacting against other obstacles located behind the culvert end (buildings, trees, support pillars, etc).

The collection of structural and longitudinal elements creates a protective surface of the obstacle with a maximum slope lower than 16% (slope 6:1).

1.- Measurement (depth and width) and minimum cleaning of the ditch.
2.- Drive of vertical supports
3.- Installation of units
4.- Fixed in ground by vertical pins

No excavation is necessary, and the installation takes only a very short time.
